DNA fingerprinting is a technique that analyzes DNA samples to identify an individual. It compares different regions of an individual's DNA to see if they match with another sample, providing a unique pattern or "fingerprint" that can be used to identify that individual. DNA cloning, transgenic DNA, polymerase chain reaction, and genetic engineering are all techniques used to manipulate or study DNA, but they do not necessarily involve identifying a specific individual.
